CHRISTMAS PARTY

17-12-09

It was a routine for an officer and fourth year student to take in charge for the preparation of the Christmas party; yes it is a big responsibility and very hard one, especially for me because I do not have enough energy at that time coz I am not feeling well, yet I just take my responsibility and take the job. We are all dressed with mud wet and wild and smells like smoked barbeque as we fry the fish fillet and the buttered chicken with a not so good weather condition, we are still thankful because some of the second year boys helped us in the cooking together with Ms. Anjie, we are all tired but we have good time laughing and throwing funny jokes on each other and finally the job is well done. I go with my partner in crime Laila as she go home and made also our own self preparation for the said party and take also a short rest, as we arrive to school many of our close friends asked us what happened to us, because we look like not okay, we are just tired. Evening comes and serving is our next job. We serve for the whole department as they took their dinner and ate after they were all at their chair. The party never lasted long and our party and our party together with Ms. Anjie followed after, we had our own exchange gift with an explanation why you choose that certain thing to give on your Manita. I received a pillow from Ate Joan and it was Barney color violet which she liked most. We also presented a small gift to Ms. Anjie with a Christmas card for she will leave us on January; she will go to Australia and study in an exclusive university for almost a year or so. She will not be on our Graduation but promised to give an online message on SKYPE on the ceremony. We are all lonely and sad but one thing that makes me awakes is when she announced the lucky one which she recommended at the DOC office to teach on computer subjects and take her place for the meantime while is away, the chosen one would become a full time faculty at the Assumption College of Nabunturan and would only submit an application form. I think of how lucky is the one whom Miss. Anjie would choose til I start shaking and I could not explain why, it is so unusual coz I do not always get nervous on some certain announcements until I hear the first name mentioned by Miss Anjie, it was LADAG, JENNIFER P. and it was me, me whom never ever dreamed to become a teacher! It was a mixed emotion, I am speechless when Patria asked me to give some message about that but I just refused. I think of what would I be when I teach on June, WOW! It was the nicest xmas gift I received in my entire life, a very nice opportunity to be grabbed. Miss Anjie gave me this opportunity because she trusted me and I would not fail her, I will do my best to prove that I am worthy for the chance which she gave on me. Form now, my mind keeps on imagining myself in front of the my students in the future, jejeje I am so excited, happy, afraid and sad for I do not still know how to start my working life.
